The worst thing about these troubled times is that these are not fully equipped and they look like cannon fodder being forced onto the battlefield.
The meaning of their existence is to consume the enemy's physical strength for the trained regular army in the rear.
That's all.
The regular army never expected them to do anything or make any military exploits. They just had to stand at the front and die obediently.
There is no other use.
Jiang Liangping was deeply moved by this.
"It's still the same old pattern of the Jin Army. The main force is elite at the back, and the signing troops are in front as sacrifices. The armor is not complete, and even the weapons are all kinds of, and some even use wooden sticks. They don't have enough troops, so they want to lure the locals to die, but I don’t know that such an army will only make them die faster.”
The subordinates just smiled.
"The golden thief is still the same golden thief. The Liberation Army is no longer the same as the Liberation Army. The general can make great achievements."
Jiang Liangping slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
"Winning against such an enemy is not a great achievement, but losing is definitely a big mistake! Give me my order! Let the war begin!!!"
Jiang Liangping gave an order, the war drums rumbled in the Liberation Army formation, and the infantry battle formation in the Liberation Army formation began to attack forward.
This large-scale war involving 50,000 people began with the Liberation Army taking the lead in attacking.
The first is the conventional crossbow shooting.
The Liberation Army had more crossbowmen and fewer archers. The army was basically equipped with divine arm bows and powerful crossbows. When attacking with arrows, the crossbowmen were in front and the divine arm archers were behind. The powerful crossbowmen fired first and the divine arm archers were behind.
The crossbowman Zhang and the crossbowman have a tacit understanding of each other. They have already trained their muscle memory through repeated training day after day. Even if their minds are unclear and groggy, as long as they enter the attack position, their bodies will involuntarily do what they want. react.
Round after round of arrow rain pierced the sky, drew a beautiful arc, and fell heavily to the ground, either hitting the Jin Army soldiers and killing them, or not hitting their vital parts, just killing them and giving them Bringing bloody disaster.
But on ancient battlefields, being injured was not necessarily better than dying in battle. It was better to die happily than to die after suffering all kinds of pain.
Tian Feng is relatively lucky.
He grabbed a shield before going to the battlefield. Although he was in the front position, he listened to the words of a great god-level senior who was signed to the battlefield three times but returned home alive three times - those of us who sign for the army are sent to die. If we don't want to die, we go to the battlefield. Just grab the shield first.
With a shield in hand, the possibility of survival will be greater, otherwise we, the signers, will be shot to death by arrows before we engage in battle.
Are you grabbing a knife or a gun?
Can you use it?
Can you use it better than your enemies?
Building a shield is more important than anything else.
So when others were grabbing weapons, he grabbed the shield and held on to it, refusing to give it to anyone who tried to grab it. For this reason, he even kicked a man who was trying to grab the shield to the ground and stamped it several times.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the battlefield, they, this group of cannon fodder, were pushed to the front to die, specifically to consume the strength of the Liberation Army. Opposite them were the fierce Liberation Army, and behind them were the fierce and vicious Supervisory Team of their own side.
To advance is to die, to retreat is to die, they have no choice.
Before the two armies engaged in battle, the crossbows of the Liberation Army came overwhelmingly.
One after another, one after another, it fell to the ground like rain, hitting the ground, people, and shields. It felt like the Liberation Army on the opposite side would not be tired.
Tian Fengshou suppressed the fear in his heart and held the big shield against it. Hearing the ping-pong-pong-pong-pong sound from above and the feeling of blows, he half-knelt on the ground, pressed the shield against the ground, and held it for a while. Be a buffer so you can hold on.
Tian Fengshou withstood this round of arrows, but his comrades were not so lucky.
As soon as the arrow rain from the Liberation Army came, one or two people were all affected. Some were penetrated through the body, some were hit in the head, some were concentrated in the neck, and some were pierced by five or six arrows in a row.
Li Tieniu, who was assigned to a team and discussed with him to escape at night, was shot by two arrows.
This guy couldn't figure it out. Tian Fengshou told him his survival experience. He relied on his own strength to choose a knife. As a result, when the arrow rain came, the shield soldiers only cared about protecting themselves and didn't care about him at all. He was not careful. He was hit by an arrow.
One was pierced on the forehead and the other was pierced on the neck. He fell down in front of Tian Fengshou with his eyes wide open. He looked miserable and refused to rest in death. Tian Fengshou was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.
There was also a guy named Zhang Maizi who had snatched food from Hotan Fengshou, and he also died.
This guy was originally holding a shield, but he was so frightened that two comrades beside him shot an arrow through the throat. He dropped his shield and ran away, shouting "I want to go home, I want to go home", but he didn't run a few steps. He was shot through the neck by an arrow, and he fell to the ground and died.
The place where he died was just to the right of Tian Fengshou. The blood flowing from his neck quickly flowed to Tian Fengshou's feet, making Tian Fengshou so frightened that he couldn't stop crying.
Seeing the people around me die one after another, lying on the ground one after another with blood all over their bodies. Their deaths were worthless and meaningless. It felt so terrible. I felt that I would be the one who died in the next moment. I would definitely There is no way to survive. No matter how good you think before the war, how brave you think of yourself, this illusion will disappear immediately in just a moment.
Tian Fengshou felt that he was about to collapse, so he muttered "I don't want to die" while kneeling on the ground and moving his body back.
Holding the shield, shrink back little by little, and move back little by little, just thinking that you can hide behind instead of pushing forward.
As a result, he was caught by the officer, who kicked him on the back, causing him to grimace in pain. When he turned his head, he saw the officer's bloodshot eyes looking at him viciously.
"What are you doing? Want to run? Get up! Get to the front!"
"I……"
The officer didn't wait for him to finish speaking and directly drew his sword and pointed it at him.
"Go forward, don't retreat! Otherwise I will chop you!!"
Seeing the fierce-looking officer and the gleaming knife, Tian Fengshou could only stand up with a frustrated face and move forward little by little.
Just after moving a few steps, an unlucky man shouted "I don't want to die" and ran back, just in time to bump into the officer. The officer was furious and stabbed him to death.
"Want to run? Don't move forward! Kill without mercy! Hold on! Hold on!"
On the chaotic battlefield, the officer's eyes were like the legendary clairvoyance. He could always accurately detect the deserters and then kill them with one knife. Tian Fengshou was afraid and could only move forward.
Fortunately, the Liberation Army's arrow rain attack ended quickly.
Just when Tian Fengshou thought he had escaped by chance, the Liberation Army moved forward and began to fight.
Seeing the endless darkness on the opposite side, the soldiers of the Liberation Army were rushing towards him. The tips of their spears were shining with cold light. It felt like the cold light could absorb the soul.
Tian Fengshou felt a stream of cold air pouring from Tianling Gai to the soles of his feet, and he got goosebumps all over his body.
When had he, who had been digging in the fields for food since he was born, ever encountered such a horrific thing?
He instinctively wanted to run away, but as soon as he took steps, he thought of the fierce commander behind him.
what to do?
He didn't know that the only thing he could do was to hold the big shield in his hand tightly, huddle as much as possible behind the shield, and grit his teeth while listening to the cries of pain or collapse from his comrades. , without saying a word.
The Liberation Army's infantry formation advanced rapidly, and the Jin Army's cannon fodder formation could not cope with it.
The order was conveyed, and the frontline officers also issued the order, but the cannon fodder soldiers who had only received hasty training or even no training did not know how to respond according to the order.
As a result, the Liberation Army's spears and shields were in front of them, and the cannon fodder was at a loss. Only a few people hurriedly raised their shields to protect themselves reflexively, while most of them raised their weapons instinctively in a daze. Waving randomly.
This was meaningless in the face of the uniform stabbing movements of the Liberation Army.
The gleaming spear tip pierced their bodies fiercely, then pulled it out, pierced it in again, pulled it out again, and then retracted it. Every movement caused blood to splash everywhere.
A large number of cannon fodder soldiers died tragically in front of the formation. The people in the front died before the people in the back could react. When the people in the front turned around and ran away out of fear, the people in the back still didn't know what happened.
The Liberation Army's formation is pressing forward step by step, but the Jin Army's cannon fodder formation has begun to collapse.
